  • refinishing wheels opinions wanted




    Here is my car in parked for winter mode and the summer wheels that need to be freshened up since never really got any interest to sell them, I figure a nice fresh look will make me happy.
    I thought about gloss black lip and mat black centers, gold center polished lip, pg center with polished lip, pg lip with mat black centers. What do you guys think would look best

        I have always liked the gloss black/matte black look but nobody has the guts to do it. If I remember correctly, those axis wheels have fake plastic bolts which push in and are chrome plated, so you would have to deal with those as well. We always used to pull them out carefully and they would push back in just fine (at Wheel Works).
        But I would say try spraying the wheels with black plasti-dip and see how you like the black, if you don't like it you can peel it off.

          I'm not a fan of black wheels normally or for you car... but polished lips will look sweet whichever way you decide to go. I could see PG centre's looking good.

            Plus you could always paint the hardware to add some contrast/style at a later date.

              I would say color match the centers. They might make the 19's look a little bit smaller. Also wacky center caps would add a bit of flare
